Chronicles of Terror: Silent Screams...New Textbook!

I've discovered a textbook that eerily follows our course trajectory perfectly; Steven Haberman's Chronicles of Terror: Silent Screams, published by Luminary Press! We now have a text that very closely follows the template of the course, both in content and lecture. Our university bookstore has assured me that they will have copies waiting, and I'm quite certain you can pick the book up for the class by going online as well.

I've found the book to be very well constructed, and well written. There are plenty of still-shots, poster images and curious information to add even more flavor to the course. One thing I like is that the book is hardbound too. It has an excellent bibliography that will save you a lot of research time when it comes to constructing your term paper for the class.

Overall, it's an excellent read that supports our course very nicely!

  3. Ah...this is actually "Midnight Marquee" which is the company that produces it...so it appears that it can be purchased directly. Different cover too, judging by the photo. Thanks again, Herb, for that link!
